My Opinion

Opinion

My Opinion of doing this Biography Project About William

Shakespeare explains that he was a very Determined, Talented, and wonderful poet, actor, Play writer, and I guess you could say he was

an “OK” Dad.

My Recommendation to

other students

Recommendation

I would totally urge all of you, for a future biography project to do William Shakespeare. It was fun

doing this project because I learned a lot from it.

Why would I recommend William Shakespeare?

William Shakespeare is a fun person to learn about. The only hard thing about him was that most older documents written

about him were in Old English. He had an extraordinary childhood. I have had fun learning about him

and I know you would to!
